New Delhi: Gone are the days when the word police made one think of dusty files and outdated investigative techniques. Today, India's police departments are up-to-date and Internet-savvy. Not only do they address relevant issues like cyber safety, they also use innovative ways of doing it. Case in point, the Bengaluru and Mumbai police departments and their creative posters on online safety.
